Chapter 6: Crafting Understandings

In this chapter we will see a close look to the desired understandings. In a way or a another these statements are essential, and it will help us to summaize and understand the chapter. First, we need to focus on ideas that are clear and specific, in order to develope understanding.
Once we apply the understanding to our plannings, we should make sure that the objectives and goals are cleearly specified, as well as what we expect from students to develope and learn.
Undesrtanding has to be concrete, no random ideas will be appropiate.

Finally students are given the chance to came up with different answers depending on the type of understanding. Overarching understanding will give students the chance to think and decide whats the best answer or conclusion for an specific question. From my opinion this is very useful, because students interpret and decide at the same time, in that way they develope thinking.
